Nissan 99 9.9%

Mercedes-Benz 90 9.0%

Dodge RAM 76 7.6%
Sprinter 76 7.6% Which company oers the

GMC 38 3.8% greenest PHOTOVOLTAIC
SYSTEM products?

Nearly tied. Toyota claimed the lead brand position from
Ford this year, but just by 2.5 percentage points. These Tesla/SolarCity 349 34.9%
top vehicle makers have increasingly embraced new SunPower 160 16.0%
technology, EV chargers and hybrids, and brought it into
the contractor workplace. Buyers expect to see ever LG 151 15.1%
more e cient vehicles that do not sacrifice power, and
they have been getting just that from the industry. Panasonic 90 9.0%
Toyota 24.5% CertainTeed 61 6.1%

57
Vivint
5.7%
Jinko 47 4.7%

Sharp 43 4.3%

No change. In this category also, the top three brand
hierarchy mimics last year exactly, with about the same
percentage spread. The Tesla PR machine whirs on, and
SunPower has a strong commercial sector presence that
apparently crosses over into residential loyalty. But overall
the PV market remains surprisingly predictable. Will a new
product line or innovation ultimately shake things up?
SolarCity 34.9%
